Panda Express will pay $150,000 to settle a lawsuit on behalf of at least three female teenagers who were allegedly sexually harassed between 2007 and 2009 while working in a restaurant in Kapaa, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced Wednesday.

The commission filed suit in September against Panda Express Inc. and Panda Restaurant Group Inc. alleging the supervisor at the restaurant at Kauai Village Shopping Center in Kapaa harassed the female employees, who were between the ages of 17 and 19, beginning in 2008.

The harassment at Panda Express occurred daily and included sexual advances, demands for sexual favors and graphic sexual comments, according to the lawsuit.

Upon reporting the harassment to the general manager, the EEOC said, Panda Express management failed to take enough action to stop or correct the situation.

As part of the settlement announced Wednesday, the parties entered into a two-year consent decree requiring Panda Express to designate an in-house equal employment opportunity coordinator; revise and distribute its anti-harassment policy and procedures; and provide annual sexual harassment training to all employees in Kapaa and to all general managers in the state of Hawaii.

“We commend Panda Express for working with the EEOC to correct serious lapses in dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace,” said Anna Y. Park, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Los Angeles District Office, which includes Hawaii in its jurisdiction. “We trust that Panda Express’s company values are consistent with the goals of the EEOC’s mission, and we commend them for agreeing to broader injunctive remedies to ensure that the workers in Hawaii are protected.”

A spokeswoman for the Rosemead, Calif.-based chain says the company strives to provide a safe and empowering environment for all associates, the Associated Press reported.
